What brightness level do I require?
Brightness with all digital projectors is universally measured in ANSI Lumens. Tradionally the brightness level for business projectors ranges from 3000 to 5000 ANSI Lumens. Your viewing environment will be a major factor in determining how bright your projector must be. In a standard sized meeting room (ie approx 20 people with lights on), a brightness level of 3000 Lumens or more is recommended. A lower brightness can still be used, however the ambient light in the room may have to be lowered to ensure a clear image.

Required brightness levels will vary depending on ambient light and screen size. In larger rooms (ie conferences or conventions) where a large screen size is required (120-200" diagonal) 4000 Lumens or more is recommended to ensure the image does not look faint or washed out.

What Resolution is right for me? [top]
The resolution of a projector is basically a measurement of how detailed the image will be.
Resolution is measured in pixels and displayed as a (width x height). The higher the better for a sharp and detailed picture.

The most common native resolutions for business projectors are:
SVGA - 800x600 - Fine for basic powerpoint presentations and even some basic video.
XGA - 1024x768 - A little more detailed so better for smaller text.
WXGA - 1280x800 (HD) - HD quality image so great for smaller text and more detailed graphs etc..
WUXGA - 1920 x 1080 or 1920x1200 (Full HD) - The most detailed picture. Great for Bluray movies and very detailed presentations
Make sure to just look at 'Native resolution', some retailers advertise a 'Maximum' or 'compatible' resolution which is nothing to do with the actual picture quality that will be projected.

Are there Portable models available? [top]
All projectors can be transported fairly easily, though the size and weight of a projector will limit the amount of brightness it can produce. So for a large venue situation with 100 people you would want a powerful machine with over 4000 lumens brightness to achieve a large image. While smaller 6 people groups can have a little pocket sized projector. There are a few classes of projectors as below:

• Less than 0.5kg - Pico Projector (limited to less than 1000 lumens brightness good for 2-10 people audience)
• Less than 1kg - Mini Projector (usually 1000 to 2000 lumens brightness suitable for around a dozen people audience)
• 1-2kg - Portable projector (Range from 2000 to 3000 lumens and can handle a classroom sized audience around 30)
• 2-3kg - Multipurpose (3000 - 4000 lumens fine for up to 50 people groups)
• 3kg+ - Large Venue (Larger more powerful models 4000 lumens to 10,000 when you have conference centre)

What does the PC Free and Wireless features mean ? [top]
PC Free and Wireless functions are 2 relatively new technologies to be found on presentation projectors.

PC Free allows the unit to project a presentation, image or some video files without the need to connect a computer or any other AV device. The correctly formatted files can be loaded onto a USB flash drive or SD Card, which is then connected directly to the projector. The projector can only read some file types and therefore a standard PowerPoint presentation must be correctly formatted. Software comes with these projectors that can do this for you. PC Free is a great option for professionals that have many meetings or presentations a day and do not wish to carry around both a projector and a notebook computer.

Wireless connectivity allows the projector to connect to a computer without the need for cabling. A wireless connection can be a little slower than a cable so whilst it's great for pictures and powerpoints, video may not appear very smooth.

Is there anything else to look out for? [top]
Another feature to be aware of is Keystone correction. When a projector is placed at an angle to the wall, the screen is no longer square. Most projectors offer Keystone correction that will correct this however there are limits on the amount of correction. If you have questions regarding keystone please don't hesitate to call us.

Before purchasing, whether from us or a competitor, please feel free to contact us to discuss the projector you are thinking of purchasing. We like to ensure you are getting the projector thats right for your needs. Many AV resellers and even some projector specialists only hold some models and therefore attempt to sell what they have in stock. At Just Projectors we have a massive quantity of stock available, stored in distribution warehouses in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth. We are therefore never pressured to sell one particular model or 'what we have lying around'.

Do you sell to Government departments?

As a supplier to many Goverment Departments; such as the Dept of Education, Dept of Immigration, Dept of Justice, The Australian Customs Service, and the QLD/VIC/SA Police Departments, Just Projectors is able to accept Government purchase orders via e-mail and despatch immediately to any location within the Australian mainland (including Tasmania). A Tax Invoice is issued to your accounts payable with standard terms of 30 days from invoice date.
